The Law of Entropy Increase and the Meissner Effect [PDF]
Entropy, 2022 The law of entropy increase postulates the existence of irreversible processes in physics: the total entropy of an isolated system can increase, but cannot decrease.

Controlling conservation laws I: Entropy–entropy flux [PDF]
Journal of Computational Physics, 2021 We study a class of variational problems for regularized conservation laws with Lax's entropy-entropy flux pairs. We first introduce a modified optimal transport space based on conservation laws with diffusion. Using this space, we demonstrate that conservation laws with diffusion are "flux--gradient flows".

Free and classical entropy over the circle. [PDF]
, 2007 Relative entropy with respect to normalized arclength measure on the circle is greater than or equal to the negative logarithmic energy (Voiculescu's negative free entropy) and is greater than or equal to the modified relative free entropy.

Microgravity Spherical Droplet Evaporation and Entropy Effects [PDF]
, 2023 Recent efforts to understand low-temperature combustion (LTC) in internal combustion engines highlight the need to improve chemical kinetic mechanisms involved in the negative temperature coefficient (aka cool flame) regime.

Entropy and the Law of Small Numbers [PDF]
IEEE Transactions on Information Theory, 2005 Two new information-theoretic methods are introduced for establishing Poisson approximation inequalities. First, using only elementary information-theoretic techniques it is shown that, when $S_n=\sum_{i=1}^nX_i$ is the sum of the (possibly dependent) binary random variables $X_1,X_2,...,X_n$, with $E(X_i)=p_i$ and $E(S_n)=\la$, then \ben D(P_{S_n ...

Thinning, Entropy, and the Law of Thin Numbers [PDF]
IEEE Transactions on Information Theory, 2010 Renyi's "thinning" operation on a discrete random variable is a natural discrete analog of the scaling operation for continuous random variables. The properties of thinning are investigated in an information-theoretic context, especially in connection with information-theoretic inequalities related to Poisson approximation results.

Entropy increases at linear order in scalar-hairy Lovelock gravity
Journal of High Energy Physics, 2020 In this paper, we investigate the second law of the black holes in Lovelock gravity sourced by a conformally coupled scalar field under the first-order approximation when the perturbation matter fields satisfy the null energy condition.

A Possible Ethical Imperative Based on the Entropy Law
Entropy, 2016 Lindsay in an article titled, “Entropy consumption and values in physical science,” (Am. Sci. 1959, 47, 678–696) proposed a Thermodynamic Imperative similar to Kant’s Ethical Categorical Imperative.

Thermodynamics of gravitationally induced particle creation scenario in DGP braneworld
European Physical Journal C: Particles and Fields, 2018 In this paper, we discuss the thermodynamical analysis for gravitationally induced particle creation scenario in the framework of DGP braneworld model. For this purpose, we consider apparent horizon as the boundary of the universe. We take three types of

CoRR, 2015 Shannon(1951) and Yavuz(1974) estimated the entropy of real documents. This note drives an upper bound of entropy from the parameter of the power law.
